ROC-100: Intro to 3D Printing & Prototyping

What You'll Learn

This class provides hands-on training in 3D Printing and rapid prototyping. We will contain a brief history of 3D printing, the different types of printers, available CAD systems, interface software, and available/common materials.

This class focuses mainly on the Ultimaker 2+ 3D printer and the Cura slicer program, however the MonoPrice printers will be covered if time permits. We will also cover the filaments we use for the printers, their care and what other types are available.

We will review:

Our reservation, logging, and pricing systems

High points of the 31 year history of 3D printing

Online services for 3D printing

Available CAD training
